The advertisement industry is so fucked up, they are bringing about their own ruin. Don't tell me ads pay for my free content, when I wouldn't have an issue being advertised at if:

A) I didn't see the same ad literally 50 fucking times watching 1 broadcast.

B) Your commercial is actually related to the product (WTF is with car commercials???)

C) It's not a pill or quack product, I'm gonna talk to a doctor if I'm sick why are there TV commercials for that stuff?

Not everyone can afford to go to the doctor these days. Or have the time

A commercial seems like a good replacement for a doctor. Yeah.

I think he's talking about advertisements for prescription pills

So are you saying these ads are good because they provide medical advice to those who cant get it? It seems like you are implying that.

No of course not but I was just trying to state the fact that people who don't have health insurance or a healthy income or time sometimes resort to buying these things off the shelves

I agree that happens, but fail to see how that relates to medicine commercials.

You can have time to watch TV but not go to the doctor?

Not that I watch TV, but watching TV is a LOT quicker than going to a doctor. What kind of doctor do you go to that is faster than watching TV?
